Horacio Sierra, President

Horacio Sierra was born and raised in Miami, Florida by Cuban exiles (Horacio, La Habana and María, Manzanillo). He earned his BS in Communication from the University of Miami and his Ph.D. in English from the University of Florida. Inspired by stories his grandfather would tell about attending high school and college in the U.S. when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt instituted the New Deal to combat the Great Depression, Horacio has been a lifelong Democrat. Horacio believes in the importance of inclusive and well-funded systems of public education, public health, and public parks to improve everyone’s quality of life. As a leader of the Cuban-American Democratic Club, he hopes to increase the number of Cuban Americans voting for Democrats and support Cuban-American Democratic elected officials who champion the First Amendment rights that are forbidden under Cuba’s Communist regime.
